5. Modulation Matrix: the new value modifiers
New in Saurus is the option to use a modifier on the source value, this allows for a
smoother control over the original source often giving better results then using direct
modulation.
This new modifier approach uses four new modulation sources called: Filter(X), X*X,
Sqrt(X) and Limit(X) X=Value, as well as a new destination target called X=Value
As an example, let's say we want to use LFO1 to modulate the cutoff, however instead of
the direct LFO1>Cutoff ModMatrix option we'll use a modifier to do this:
* The first thing to do would be to assign a modulation source to our destination X=Value.
* Go into the modmatrix and on the first line assign LFO1+- to the destination X=Value, set
the slider for this to +80
* Next we'll assign one of our modifiers to the Cutoff; on the second matrix line assign
Filter(X) to cutoff and set its slider to +70.
You may have to increase the LFO rate a bit but you should now hear the LFO filtering the
cutoff by using our Filter(X) modifier.
What Filter(X) in this case does is apply a low pass filter to the value of X, in other words
in the first line we declared that the LFO1+- function was X and on the second line we told
Saurus to use the Filter(X) modifier to further modify X's value.
There are currently four modifiers available:
•
Filter(X) - Filters values, very handy to use with for example trance gates to shape
the type of volume gate used.
•
X*X - Can be used to further shape modify envelopes, for punchier envelopes for
example.
•
Sqrt(X) - Also very good to further shape modify envelopes with.
•
Limit(X) - Can be used to limit a the amount of modulation by clipping its value
within a certain range set with the value slider.
